Main Dish

Sesame noodles with tofu and bok choy

Geography is on the menu in the Oakland Unified School District, where the ingredients for Thursday's lunches come exclusively from California. Tofu from Berkeley, noodles from Los Angeles and bok choy from Bakersfield star in this Asian-inspired dish.

Instructions

For sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

For stir-fry: In a large wok or skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat and add bok choy. Cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes, then add garlic, ginger and scallions. Cook another minute until fragrant. Add tofu and sauce and bring to a boil.

To serve: Cook rice or noodles until al dente. Toss with stir-fry and taste for seasoning, adding more soy sauce, vinegar and/or sesame oil as needed. Sprinkle with cilantro.
